Charity knitters are folks (mainly women) who knit - for charity, for themselves and for others. They knit at home, they knit in the car, and they knit in public. Some of them are members of Guilds, some aren't. Some have been knitting for 50+ years, some are just starting. All of them share a love of charity knitting, in all its forms.
Some of the things that some of us participate in include:
BRITISH COLUMBIA
